Dr. Crosslin’s research program focuses on precision medicine using statistical genetics, biomedical informatics, implementation science, and the development of computational/bioinformatics tools. He has contributed to multiple National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) “Big Data” efforts. Dr. Crosslin is currently MPI for the University of Washington site’s U01 project (2021–2025) to evaluate the use of genomic information in the health care of participants of diverse ancestry. Under Dr. Crosslin’s leadership, SPMRC assists COBRE RPLs, PPLs, members, and Tulane-wide investigators in proposing and conducting sex- and gender-based implementation studies and the program helps support the SPMRC’s goals to study the intersection of sex and gender with race, age, and social determinants of health.
